The Faust Act
From the beginning of the 2013 recurrence, Laura was a huge fan of the Patheon, regularly attending shows. By the end of the year, she had seen more than half of the gods. Laura's idolatry grew into almost an obsession, and it was her deepest dream to become one of them.

On January 1st, 2014, she attended a show by Amaterasu, and after passing out during it, met Luci, who flirted with her and invited her backstage, to meet the goddess herself. As the two arrive there, Amaterasu is being interviewed by a skeptical reporter, Cassandra Iragashi, that doubts on their divine claim. Laura witnessed Lucifer's argument with the interviewer, and also when it was interrupted by two gunment firing at the group of gods.

As Luci killed the shooters, and was taken to court, Laura witnessed the trial and subsequently the muder of Judge Holmes, in  which Laura thinks being the only to believe when the goddess claimed she didn't actually kill him. (Issue 1)

Laura overheard Luci telling Amaterasu to find Ananke, and ask for help. (Issue 2)
